For how long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement sent earlier than that, however the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the paperwork.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns need to be resolved.

A variety of cases are dealt with at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

If your spouse is unwilling to settle in a sensible manner, more complex divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be resolved.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Dekalb County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

How come my case doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
